Can you have a 2001 style bubble.. with one company?

With a side of Bezos, Pets.com, and an AOL-Time Warner merger?

My 2 cents - Facebook will be releasing a phone timed just right for their expected IPO in 2012 - my guess is that they wouldn't be able to approach any handset manufacturers directly without telegraphing their intentions to G and Apple - perhaps a social OS wrapper around Android ?

I give a Facebook Phone 1000:1 odds. More likely is that they are banging their heads against their desks trying to figure out how to make money off 500 million users.

Ask HN: what about the law of 500? Is it a good law ?
